Something like this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Arcade-or-Computer-120mm-12v-Cooling-Fan-by-RetroArcade-us-USA-Seller/230918998403?epid=1101570236&hash=item35c3d84983:g:hn4AAOSwNWxaBR4n

I'm looking for a 120V computer style fan that I can just plug in to a wall outlet as my keezer has some temp and moisture issues. I'd rather not Jerry-Rig something with a cell phone charger and burn the joint down. (My luck) I'm thinking of getting this one...

If you can't get to some breweries, you can buy sets of brewery stickers on eBay.

Relatively new here, could use your help... I have a 3-tap keezer that has 3 varieties in it right now. Cream ale, blonde, and an IPA. For some reason the first two beers mentioned dispense just fine, while the IPA fills the glass with 2" of beer and the rest is foam. All three beers are in...

Ironically NB just posted today....."Free Glass Carboy" with $100 purchase...

Oh, I forgot to mention the free fermenters. Those are truly free. NB has a deal every 6 months or so. "Buy two brew kits, get a free Big Mouth Bubbler". The first one I got with two extract kits, the second one I just got with two all-grain kits. It seems to be a decent fermenter for the...

Kegging... There, I said it. Lol You are correct on one front. I started with extract brews, but have now moved to BIAB using the Home Depot 5-gal paint strainers. Water is good untreated cold Wisc tap water. “FREE BURNERS” is a relative term. The burner, pot, and propane take was only...

A friend of mine was over this weekend and asked how much I spent to set up my brew set up. (He knows I'm new at this as well, so as we sat sipping beers on the porch, he wanted to know what it cost.) I put together a Google doc with prices and links to all of my equipment. I'm fairly...

No, I'm mashing in the boil pot. I wrap the boil pot in a welding blanket when it gets up to temp. Seemed to hold temp pretty decent. After an hour, I pulled the grain bag and set it on top of the grate above the kettle, first letting it drip, then sqeezing it with the lid of the kettle...

So it sounds like the consensus is that there is no consensus on sparge vs no sparge. I think I'll keep doing it because I was amazed at how much "wort" came off the grain during the sparge. That extra 1.5 gal of water was just as dark looking as the rest of the wort. All of that sweet...

Not to derail my own thread, but I've seen people post efficiency numbers. How is that calculated? (Again, relative newbie here)

Just curious if I'm doing this BIAB correctly. Below are a couple pics of the rudimentary set up. (excuse my terminology if the wording is wrong, I'm rather GREEN at this) Mashing @ 152deg per the recipe. After the 60 min mash, sparging with about a 1.5 gal of 170 water for about 10min...

Wow, thanks for all of the fast replies! Gavin- What you mention about more proteins makes sense because I had to watch this thing for quite a bit longer during the beginning of the boil. It went through a very foamy hot-break for about 8 mins before finally settling down. Oh, and I agree...

I brewed my first BIAB today (5 gal/Cream Ale) and had a quick question. It looks like there are solids in the fermenter. None of the extract kits I've done have done this before. Is there something wrong with the wort, or will it be good? Here's a pic.... Any help is appreciated!

Thanks guys!

I have a pair of these ball lock fittings. Do these fittings, with their plastic ends, need the white nylon flare washers like this or does the plastic end serve as a sort of washer? https://www.northernbrewer.com/flared-nylon-washer-4-pack Thanks for the thoughts!

too much hops? I'm relatively new to home brewing, but the types of flavors your describing seem like they'd be quickly covered up by any amount of hoppiness.

Good point.... I'll keep it simple by saying that all of the dispensing hardware (manifold, perlick taps, and tubing) were purchased from RiteBrew. As an example, here is the manifold used for this build. http://www.ritebrew.com/product-p/843654.htm As a side-note, I did have to swap the...

The collar was made of a simple 2X8 that was painted with grain-smoothing sanding primer and brushed on Rustoleum "white" paint. It matches the factory finish of the freezer nicely. The nice thing about a freezer this size is that one 8' long 2X8 is enough to make the collar. The collar was...

This will be a build thread about how I fit 3 corny kegs in a 5.0cu ft keezer. First off, here is the freezer I bought. I've included some pics (below) of it from the day we picked it up from Best-Buy: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/insignia-5-0cu-on-sale-for-139.645983/#post-8251086
